First Contact Using the Keyer

Shortly after the last entry, I went outside to listen on 20. Hearing no-one on 14.060, I sent a few "TEST" rounds and signed my call. WA7KRN called, operating portable out of a campsite in Wyoming. He was running 1 watt on his end. After some nice conversation, QSB ended the exchange. I didn't embarrass myself too much with the paddles so maybe this will be a go after all.
